A Mild Lactic Acid Superficial Peeling Formulation

Lactic Acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that exfoliates the skin. This 5% formulation offers very mild exfoliation and is supported with a purified Tasmanian pepperberry known to reduce signs of inflammation and sensitivity that is often associated with exfoliation.

This formula contains a studied Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative to help reduce irritation associated with acid use. This derivative is of plant origin and varies in colour seasonally and this colour variation may be apparent in the formula from time to time.

Contraindications: Lactic Acid should not be used on sensitive, peeling or compromised skin.

Note: While Lactic Acid can result in quick visible benefits, indirect forms of skin exfoliation is generally suggested in favour of direct forms such as this formula due to potential inflammation and sensitivity associated with acids.

pH 3.60-3.80; Free of: alcohol, oil, silicone, nut, gluten; Vegan and cruelty-free

Priyadarshni 2024-07-30 Variant: 30ml Skin Type: Combination	Exfoliates and evens the skin tone with continuous use .
Hanah 2022-04-20 Variant: 30ml Skin Type: Combination	Is okay but need to use it alternate nights or might have reactions for me (sensitive skin)
Kirti ***** 2021-06-17 Variant: 30ml Skin Type: Oily	doesn't see much exfoliation but doesn't irritate my sensitive skin too
Flora *** 2021-06-06 Variant: 30ml Skin Type: Dry	Used it before toner and let it sit for a while before continuing with PM regime
Lee ***** 2021-05-26 Variant: 30ml Skin Type: Sensitive	ive been using this product for a month and more now, and i LOVE it! i can see a reduction in sebum in pores, and my skin texture improved a little. as this is my first chemical exfoliant, im not upset that the improvements are slight. thinking of getting the 10% or other aha after finishing this. btw, i only use this 2x a week (or 3x most) and DEFINITELY use sunscreen. never going back to physical exfoliants!
Norarfah **** 2021-04-20 Variant: 30ml Skin Type: Combination	i use this every other night and i love it. always makes my skin looks smooth the next day
Ielya **** * *** *** 2021-04-11 Variant: 30ml Skin Type: Oily	i don't think this product really did anything to my face? I've been using it for 4 months but I didn't really notice any difference I guess.
Cassandra **** 2021-03-30 Variant: 30ml Skin Type: Sensitive	Been using it once a week for about 3 weeks now (just started a skincare routine so wanted to be safe rather than sorry) and happy to say that it helps to smoothen out my skin and slightly lighten my hyperpigmentation. I find it very gentle on my skin and no tingling/prickly sensation unless I tried to pick at my pimple or something. Smells good too while not being overpowering. Looking to increase to 2x a week to see if the effect is better.
Lok ** *** 2021-01-08 Variant: 30ml Skin Type: Sensitive	LOVE it. did not cause breakouts, next morning my skin feels so much better. I use this once a week as i have sensitive skin and dont want to over exfoliate. This is great for me. I might try moving on to glycolic acid (which is stronger acid) but this is great if you are just starting out on chemical exfoliants. (if you are still wary of sensitivity, you should try a weaker acid like mandelic acid)
Foong * ** 2021-01-08 Variant: 30ml Skin Type: Sensitive	Great product for sensitive skin that actually helped me to smoothen out my skin texture, have already recommended this to my friends!
Ss 2021-01-03 Variant: 30ml Skin Type: Combination	Excellent! Not at all harsh on my sensitive skin. My skin glows the following morning :)
Clin *** 2020-12-06 Variant: 30ml Skin Type: Normal	Another purchase I made during the circuit breaker period. We were sad, we weren't getting enough sunlight and outdoor time, our skin was sad. Tough times call for tough measures. This was another great purchase. I felt some amount of tingling when I first started using it (2 weeks after I introduced TO's niacinamide + zinc into my routine in the day) at night but that quickly dissipated upon daily use. Now I hardly feel anything at all, unless my skin was being exceptionally sensitive, which is rarely. This provides a light, gentle daily exfoliation just right for my skin. I probably wouldn't want to change it up to a higher percentage for daily use. One drop per side of the face plus an additional drop for my forehead (avoiding the eye area) was enough. Now, I use it once every other day on odd days of the week. Except some Fridays and Sundays, where I use either retinoid or the ordinary's 30% AHA + 2 % BHA peeling mask. But that's for another review.
Seika ******** 2020-10-26 Variant: 30ml Skin Type: Combination	It goes a good job in exfoliating my skin. It does not remove blackheads. Do not purchase if you have dry skin, it will make your skin even more dry. It does makes my skin smoother.
Sim * * 2020-07-28 Variant: 30ml Skin Type: Combination	Not sure if it's working, yet to see drastic effect as I have not used it as frequently since it can't be paired with BHA.
Yiing 2020-07-03 Variant: 30ml Skin Type: Combination	have been using this for ~2 months now. no irritation / tingly feeling when applying. gives me a glow healthy look with consistent use. i have also been able to reduce reliance on other chemical peels /scrubs that i'd usually use 2x a week - reduced to 1x or less a week now. :D
P**** 2020-06-12 Variant: 30ml Skin Type: Oily	My skin is a lot more supple and smooth, and more even. I use this as a once a day exfoliator and its gentle on my skin. Recommend to start with 5% lactic acid first, before progressing to the 10%.
Iris 2020-05-25 Variant: 30ml Skin Type: Dry
Anuradha 2019-10-30 Variant: 30ml Skin Type: Combination	very Good product for mild exfoliating effect , skin looks bright and clear.
Minnie 2019-07-08 Variant: 30ml Skin Type: Combination	This product has a light fruity smell. It is watery like the Marine Hyaluronic and you don't need alot. It's a powerful acid for exfoliation and my skin looked brighter and healthier after use.
